Micro-Fungi in Butter.

Members of the Microscopical So
eiety of Calcutta have found that Cal
cutta butter always teens with
microscopic organisms when made as
is customary, and these distinguish it
from fresh butter churned directly
from rich cream. The milk of Bengal
is mostly too poor to yield butter by
the process elsewhere in vogue, and il
is, therefore, boiled and put aside
tSrtset," small piece of
butter or teaspoonful of
buttermilk being added to it. In from
six to twelve hours white acid mass
is formed. which is mixed with water,
and churned until the butter separates.
The organisms seem to be introduced
partly by the water and partly by the
stale butter or buttermilk added to the
boiled milk. The micro-fungi are
probably developed from the butter or
buttermilk. which really acts as fer
ment. while even diatoms and infu-
soria come from the water. Arkansaa0

A RARE SPECIMEN OF A LAVA JOKE.

Mr.. Clarence Macfarlane and
few friends, after having assembled
some distance up the face of Mauna
Loa, thought of ''little game"
that they would play upon their
fellow passengers Oh their return to
the vessel. Clarence is supposed to
have Invested himself Of his coat
and vest, his watch and chain being
attached to the latter. Whilst in
search of specimens, jet of lava
was supposed to attach itself to
Clarence's watch chain, which, on
his return to the steamer, he eX-
hibited as "rare specimen"
The fact is, the specimen was OBJ
tanned by inserting a stick in the
molten lava, and then applying it to
the chain, where it cavoted off and
presented q unique appearance.
The joke was highly successful,
though somewhat expensive, as it
caused the gold of which the chain
was composed, to melt and part
into two pieces. This breakage had
to be accounted for, and so it was
said to be caused by trying to
separate the lava from the chain.
The best part of the joke comes in
by our morning neighbor publishing
the full particulars of this "rare
specimen" as solid fact. This
wonderful specimen of Mauna Loa's
ejectment is on view in Soper's win.

K0HALA NOTES.

Kohala has had sensation in the
shape of large sperm Whale, cast
ashore at Puehuehu. From appear
ances, it would seem that 1t had
been caught by ship seen off the
coast in the early part of the week,
as a harpoon with piece of rope
attached was firmly imbcdded in the
monster. 1t probably broke away in
rough weather, and was rather de-
composed and broken when first
seen on the rocks here. However n
large number went to see it, and
most of the skeleton was secured. :.
We have had very wet weather
lately, and the state of the roads
may be imagined. How it soothes
our feeling to read of the pranis of
the minister of War and the Navy
inadvcrtising for bids, involving the
expenditure of large sum of very
hard cash, for an utterly unprofit-
able and foolish enterprise, when
the roads of the country are left to
take care of themselves, to the de-
triment Of every industry upon
which depends the, welfare OF the
people.
